symptoms in 1st tri?

ashes1010

I just found out that we're having twins. I'm about 7.5 weeks pregnant right now. I've had some nausea for the last 2 weeks but it hasn't been horrible. I've managed to still eat meals and snacks, although I have lots of food aversions. I've heard that multiples can make your symptoms far worse. Apart from the mild nausea, I've had quite a bit of fatigue, sore breasts and occasional lower abdominal aching. 

Has anyone pregnant with multiples had mild symptoms through their 1st tri?

Congratulations on your twin pregnancy I am 17 weeks and so far have experience ZERO symptoms besides engorged boobs... no morning sickness, no nausea, no gagging, etc.

Good luck!

Congrats!  I generally felt like you describe until 8 weeks exactly.  Up until then I was thinking "well, this isn't so bad...."  Then BAM - I felt awful until I hit 12 weeks.  I was completely exhausted and extremely nauseous (although only occassionally did i actually throw up) and could hardly eat or even look at food.  But everyone's different -- hopefully you'll avoid all of that and have a really easy 1st tri!

I had extreme fatigue....but that was about it.

I had some food aversions (no meat for first tri), and a couple of times I felt like I was going to faint, but that's about it.  I learned to eat as soon as I woke up and that curbed the fainting thing.

Congratulations!

I am 13w3d and was completely shocked to learn it was twins last week! I didn't have any weight gain in my first trimester, I threw up one time (at midnight) the week I found out I was pregnant, but no other symptoms, other then the normal tiredness and very sore nipples. I had some aches and pains here and there which were attributed to a bladder infection.

I really had a fantastic 1st trimester and almost thought the tests were wrong until we heard the heartbeat to confirm a baby really existed in there! Then followed the u/s telling us there were 2, SUPRISE!

Congrats! I just found out Monday I was having twins too. My symptoms are horrible. For 2 weeks now, I have not been able to eat, drink, and I sleep all the time. LOL This is my forth pregnancy and so far the worse. I'm hoping around 12 weeks or so I will go back to normal. Good luck with everything.
